The Crown trunk button is located at the door lock button on the driver's side. Taking the 2018 Crown as an example, it is a mid-to-large-sized car with body dimensions of: length 5020mm, width 1805mm, height 1480mm, wheelbase of 2925mm, minimum ground clearance of 140mm, and a body weight of 1660kg. The 2018 Crown features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine producing a maximum horsepower of 235PS, maximum torque of 350Nm, and maximum power of 173kW, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

As a frequent driver of this car, I find the trunk button placement on the Crown to be quite intuitive. It's mostly located on the driver's side door panel or below the left side of the steering wheel, and a light press opens it, which is very user-friendly. Also, don't forget the trunk switch button on the remote key, usually indicated by a small car rear icon. If it's a newer model, the button might have moved to the touchscreen operation area on the center console, adapting to modern driving habits. If you can't find the button, first check if the key battery is sufficient or if the button is stuck by dust—I make it a habit to regularly clean the button surfaces to maintain responsiveness. Another spot is sometimes an external button near the rear license plate light, convenient for direct operation from the back, but be careful not to press it accidentally while driving. In any case, it's best to check the owner's manual first to confirm the exact location, avoiding delays in emergencies.

From a design perspective, the placement of the Crown's trunk release button in easily accessible locations for the driver, such as the inner door panel or beneath the steering wheel, aims to minimize operational distractions and enhance safety. For instance, it allows convenient one-touch opening while driving. Having driven both older and newer models, I've noticed that newer versions often integrate this function into the central touchscreen menu to save space, though physical buttons tend to be more reliable. If the button malfunctions, it could be due to aged wiring causing a short circuit or a blown fuse—both can be resolved with simple checks and replacements. During maintenance, pay extra attention to external buttons near license plate lights, as they are prone to corrosion from rainwater. Applying moisture-proof treatments can prolong their lifespan. It's advisable to gently press the button during daily use to test responsiveness rather than applying excessive force, which helps extend its service life. This thoughtful design detail proves both practical and user-friendly.

When looking for the Crown trunk button, I usually check the small button on the upper inner side of the driver's door, which is within easy reach and convenient to operate. If not found, I look for an external switch button near the license plate light at the rear of the car, as this is a common and intuitive location. The remote key also has a button, usually with a car icon, which can be pressed lightly. If the button is stuck or unresponsive, try cleaning the surface dust with a soft cloth to troubleshoot, which is simple and easy. It's advisable to familiarize yourself with these locations to avoid delays in finding the switch after parking at night—safety first.
